"This week is dedicated to Child Find....displayed are pictures of beautiful, loving children missing. I cannot imagine the terror of a parent as they wake up each morning not knowing where their daughter or son could be. How could you ever find peace in your heart for the rest of your life?

Each of our journeys are so different and our pathway to peace is personal and necessary. Today we can pray for each child missing and feel compassion for the families who are in fear each day.

This week our loving cat Lucky is missing and each day we are looking for him. We feel the loss of his beautiful spirit.

Faith continues to guide our hearts to hope.
Life constantly takes us to letting go each day.
Time moves us into peace.

To every parent who has lost a child....
As the grief holds your tender heart, release the tears of sadness.
Create the space for love to flow and wash away the pain.
In this warm place where peace arrives,
embrace your child and hold her close.
See the light beyond the darkness,
shine it brightly to guide him to you.
In this safe place....in your heart....feel the presence
of your loving child....never missing.
Know they are with you and this connection of love will guide
them home."
